Verdict
Only three of these have experience under Rules. The mare Thegirlfrommilan would be the best of those and has been in very good form between the flags. Pink Eyed Pedro and High Hatton were both unplaced in the race last year and well beaten. Peter Bryan rode last year’s winner and teams up today with Mickey Bowen’s FATEH, an improving son of Big Bad Bob who has won a couple of points and has more scope than his rivals. Mister Robbo has place claims tackling regulation fences for the first time.
